Frequently Asked Questions
Is this rectangle crochet shawl pattern good for beginners?
Yes! The Katie Wrap is rated Easy and is a wonderful project for adventurous beginners. It uses basic crochet stitches, including double crochet and single crochet. The v-stitch that gives this wrap its beautiful lace texture is made with those same simple stitches, so there’s no complicated stitchwork to master.
Can I make this wrap with a different yarn?
Sure! The recommended yarn will give you the closest look and drape to the sample, but you can certainly use a different yarn if you’d like. For a similar feel, look for another soft DK-weight acrylic yarn. A breathable fiber could also be nice if you plan to wear your wrap through warmer seasons. For help with finding the right replacement, be sure to check out my tips for substituting yarn.
Can I make this wrap in a different size?
Yes! The finished Katie Wrap measures approximately 70″ x 20″, but the size is easy to customize. To adjust the length, simply make your starting chain shorter or longer using the stitch multiple provided in the pattern notes. To change the width, work more or fewer rows before adding the trim.
